Yingge Rock

為鶯歌的地名由來及象徵。 自登山口上行約10至15分鐘可至鶯歌石，但皆為陡峭的樓梯。 鶯歌石旁的觀景平台可俯瞰鶯歌街區，視野還不錯。 不過整體環境維護及規劃，個人覺得可以再改善。

登山口離鶯歌車站約步行15分鐘，接著走一段算陡的階梯 若要繼續走到百年榕樹，那一段就不太好走了

林蔭茂密的幽靜小道是獎賞。 看到鶯歌石之後， 膝蓋沒問題，腿力好的才能挑戰之後的陡峭嚴峻路線 （第二天會鐵腿）， 否則見好就收，準備往回走吧！

北鶯公園走十分鐘即可欣賞鶯歌石， 再往上可登頂鶯歌石山。 鶯歌石岩壁有凹凸不平的坑洞，據傳腹洞中曾發現貝塚化石。 較大的一個坑洞內有供奉著神像，洞內還有一塊日據時代昭和二年（1927年）豎立的石碑，寫著「鸚哥石」。 現在稱「鶯歌」，應是由「鸚哥」轉化而來。 鶯歌石山(H164m、不明基石)，鶯歌石(H113m、突起岩塊)

An interesting trail. Some rope sections can be tricky. Lots of crickets, grasshoppers, and other skittery critters, but nothing dangerous found.

This hiking trail not so high but the top of yingge rock have view deck I love it?

One of its most widely known legend is this: "In the old days this great boulder often ejected a foggy miasma that blocked out the sky, confusing people so that they lost her way. The Gazetteer of Danshui Sub-prefecture for 1871 described the area this way. "Yingge Mountain, in Sanjaoyong the old name of Sarxia, which encompassed Yingge) is sad to spit out a miasmic log this fog caused the Zheng amy lo lose the way of its advance, so they shot it off at the neck." What this means is that when the Ming Dynasty patriot Zheng Cheng-gong (Koxinga) was leading his forces through this area, miasmic vapors emitted by Yingge Rook caused the army to lose its way, so Zheng commanded his soldiers to shoot the rock in the neck with a cannon, whereupon the vapors dispersed and the army was able to continue its advance. Another folk legend has it that wo giant birds were fighting in the area at the time, afficing great suffering on the people, when Zhang Cheng-gong heard about this he went to Taiping Bridge in Shulin, where he drew his bow and shot the two birds. When they died, the birds were transformed into Yingge (Eagle) Rock and Mt. Yuan in neighboring Sarnia To provide a better place for viewing the surrounding landscapes, the lookout platform above Yingge Rock was completed in 2007 thanks to the efforts of the district office.
